Phil Foden - 2017/18 performances

[mccity]

It does because it's complete and utter bollocks, you seem to have not even be watching the games, so why would I want to discuss them with you?

You think sending a 17 war old kid to get hacked down by the knees in league 2 is a good idea, which is bad enough, but obviously you aren't seeing what I am if you think he was bad in the other games.

Or what Guardiola saw apparently, given the news yesterday about him being kept in the squad because he's deemed first team ready.

When did I say that?

When did I say that?

"I'm 100% firm in the belief this kid needs a loan..."

Oh so where were you thinking of sending him on loan, Swansea? Why not Liverpool?

It does my head in that some people think every player has to go through 4 years of loans before playing for us.

Again, when did I say that?

What about someone like Girona? Or NAC Breda? I never said cloggers in L2. I just said he might need exposure to playing against bigger, tougher players. Fully grown men if you will. At least as a bridge between academy football and premier league football.


"Unless we've got a plan to really slowly wean him into the team over the next 3 years I am of the belief this kid is 100% in need of a loan at some point."

Remember that? At one point will you realize I'm only trying to discuss the merits of a possible loan if City don't slowly bring him through?

He's in the first team squad for the season, we already know they plan to bring him through FFS, or do you think he's just going to be in the squad so they can weigh up where to loan him?

Very excited to see the impact Phil can make this season

We know the plan is to bring him through. But circumstances change. What if turns out we can't afford to play him? What if he picks up a knock? We've had young players in the 1st team squad before.

So by your own words we know the plan is to bring him through, but you decided to write an essay about what to do if there isn't a plan to bring him through...

The big plus for Foden is we have a very compact squad this year (assuming the out of favour players leave). We are only using 15 of the 17 foreign spots and 4 senior English players. That is 19 senior players which includes the likes of; Sane, G Jesus and Sterling. The squad is heavy in attacking midfield but overall it is not too big. There are 18 places in a matchday squad. A couple of injuries and he could be on the bench every week.
